Tibetan Mastiff Puppy

Would you believe me if I told you Anubis was only 9 months old in this photo? I wouldn’t either, but it’s true. Tibetan Mastiffs are some of the largest dogs in the world and can grow to be as heavy as 160lbs! His thick coat hadn’t fully come in yet, and the result was a lion-like mane of auburn around his face and body. As massive as he already was, Anubis never felt threatening. Originally bred to guard nomad groups and their flocks, Tibetan Mastiffs today have retained a warmth and kindness toward people.
